Arkansas: Its Architectural Heritage
VHS, 45 min. each, 1981-1984, Study guide available
Part One: 1800-1861
Cy Sutherland, architecture professor at University of Arkansas, guides the viewer through a series of significant architectural sites which portray the cultural values of Arkansans in the decades prior to the Civil War. Sutherland's relaxed manner quietly enhances the pictorial evaluation of the three major architectural phases: Pioneer, Territorial, and Greek Revival.
Part Two: 1865-1917
The second part of this film/video series examines both the high-style Beaux Arts architecture of the Victorian era and the vernacular or untutored design in Arkansas during a time which witnessed an explosion of new architectural forms. From the Old State House to the new Capitol, Sutherland traces the decline of the provincial Old South to the emergence of a new, modern South in anticipation of the third part of the series.
Part Three: 1918-Present
This film looks at the radical changes in architectural styles in the modern period. We see influences of Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, Miles Van der Rohe, and other great architects of the twentieth century in architecture around the state.
